The story of the Old Moon comes from the amazing Lakota People. The story of the full moon that shines down from the skies during the coldest time of the year. During this time food is hard to find, even the best hunters, the wolves struggle. Wolves being extremely clever, know that people store food, so they would gather around the human villages and begin to howl. Calling out of the woods all of the other wolves. By night’s end, all of the wolves will have encircled the whole village calling out into the darkness. The wolves had come to eat.
That is the Old Moon! The calling out in the darkness to the artists, to come eat. This is not limited to tattoo artists, we want the poets, the painters, the photographers etc… to come find purpose.
